Exactly. Everyone makes some bad decisions and how you deal with them and look back on them is what makes the difference between a victim and a self aware person. It’s called personal responsibility.
There’s shame, there’s embarrassment and maybe the feeling they secretly enjoyed it.
Rape by someone you know isn’t really easy to deal with because that’s someone you also trust.
The law isn’t good at addressing relationships that go off the rail between people who are couples.
No, I’m not. You don’t seem to be either unless you’re equating Christianity with the culture of victimhood.
So do men.
Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I’m over the hill yet still searching for that gal I left in LA decades ago, Rene Talbot. No rest for the bleary ...
I was speaking of the excuses you made not hers. I have not found women to be "mostly physically weak and too emotional to handle the world on their own."
Brings up a song:
“This is a mans world!!!
This is a mans world!!!
But, it’d be nothin without woman”
There is a big difference between giving it all away and having it taken by force.
Christianity in America has embraced a less virulent form of feminism, but virulent all the same. It teaches men to be a Don Quixote seeing virtues in women who do not have virtue. These white knights run to rescue their imagined Dulcinea del Toboso virgins. The christo-feminism supplants the authority of men in the marriage,as taught scripture, for relationship which is really just the appeasement of the wife’s discontent. It implicitly models that women are spiritual and men are carnal. It believes the woman accuser without due process and denies the obvious fact that women lie. It continues its synthesis with the radical ugly feminist all while in denial. So you see many do equate Christianity with the culture of victimization; too bad the Bible teaches we are more than conquerors.
She was 19, so only barely still a teen, and certainly legally an adult responsible for her choices. If she really was raped, it’s a shame, but I have trouble believing anyone is really stupid enough to go marry the man that rapes them on the first date.
“ is revealing that beneath the Hollywood glitz she was repressing a secret: She had been raped”
I think she already revealed that ages ago in her autobiography (if I recall correctly). So nothing new here.
So you’ve been married to a passive/aggressive woman too! Ain’t it a b*tch? Some of their traps and games linger even decades after the judge ends the struggle.
That is a most unfortunate phenomena.
“She was 19, so only barely still a teen, and certainly legally an adult responsible for her choices”
In 1952, 19 was definitely adulthood and 19 year olds acted like it. Not so much today.
Young once, but never stupid.
She thinks that, does she? Funny, I don't know any men like that.
Oh, please spare me.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. --Romans 3:23
Thank God I’m married.
I’m simply referring to the tripe from the men on this thread. Men, not including myself, are berating girls for decisions they made as they dealt with criminal abuse cases.
So, yes, I have a problem with that. If you were the one drugged and raped by a gay guy, I’d on your side, as well.
